Julie Christie in Away from Her by Sarah Polley

Alan Riding in “A Role About Winter for Julie Christie, a Star in Eternal Spring” in the New York Times:

Julie Christie“For moviegoers who fell for Julie Christie in the 1960s (and they were legion), she will always be the tousle-haired blonde with the dazzling smile who lit up the screen in Darling, Doctor Zhivago and Far From the Madding Crowd.

“Today they need not feel disappointed. In her new movie, Away From Her, which opens on May 4, she is still a tousle-haired blonde with a dazzling smile. But yes, like her fans, she too has changed. At 66, she is no longer attracted by fame. She is not even much interested in the Julie Christie of legend.

‘I have no connection with that person at all,’ she said over lunch in a pub near her home in the East End. ‘That person has gone.’

    Julie Christie should have won the best actress Oscar this year. Marion Cotillard was excellent, yes, but Christie was just as good — and she had that long and distinguished career of hers as well. That should have counted.
